Cycle counting -IM

Had a question on restricting the number of materials / documents to be
counted in a single
day. How to go about achieving this objective in Cycle counting in IM.

Let's say we have like 100,000 materials on cycle counting all A, B and C
class included.
The cycle count inv. documents are created using the batch session
say(MICN). Say A class
is to be counted 2 times in a year which are say 30,000 materials. The
question is how to
restrict the number of materials on any single day that are to be counted.
Or is it not
possible by standard SAP settings?

This is not regarding the number of materials / inv.document which is a
customizing setting.

Thanks. You are talking about DLINL field in MARD. But if I change that
field, will it not alter the history of cycle count done? Basically, want to
retain the history of the last cycle count date. Also by changing the field
will it restrict the no of documents to be counted per day?

Murthy,
You could run MICN. Only check off the issue log. Do not generate batch
input. When the results come up on the screen go to the toolbar.
System>List>Save> Local File and save the results into an Excel file.
Take the Excel file and copy as many items that you can count in a day into
transaction MI01.

Thanks Jeff.. that could be one way of doing it or probably a custom report
to generate the documents with a ceiling on number of documents in a given
day and push it to a printer. Because the inv. docs are managed by
business(non IT) and do not want to get into the simple steps like these. I
wanted to double check on the customized settings possibility but I believe
there is none.
